Gyarados Ex Overview
Gyarados Ex boasts 180 HP, making it surprisingly resilient against powerful Pokémon like Mewtwo Ex and Pikachu Ex. Its attack, "Rampaging Whirlpool" (3 Water, 1 Colorless Energy), deals 140 damage and discards a random energy from all Pokémon. This high HP, combined with strategic chip damage, makes Gyarados Ex a formidable finisher.
Gyarados Ex/Greninja Combo
This deck uses a stall-and-finish strategy.
Druddigon (100 HP) acts as a sturdy defender, inflicting chip damage without needing energy. Greninja provides additional chip damage and can serve as a secondary attacker. Gyarados Ex delivers the knockout blow once enough damage has been accumulated.
Gyarados Ex/Starmie Ex/Vaporeon Combo
This deck offers a faster, more aggressive approach.
Starmie Ex's free retreat allows for quick Gyarados Ex deployment. Vaporeon facilitates efficient energy management, ensuring Gyarados Ex is always ready to attack. This deck prioritizes speed and versatility.
These two builds represent the current top Gyarados Ex decks in Pokémon TCG Pocket. For further Pokémon TCG Pocket strategies and deck analysis, including our regularly updated tier list, check out [The Escapist](insert link here if available).
